yeah, maybe because of all the ignorance and trolling in this thread, calling people "racist" and "impotent nerds" because they aren't okay with the prospect of characters' races being changed for no justifiable reason Were you this mad when it was announced that Geralt was going to be played by a British man and not an actual Witcher from the Northern Realms --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ...

having an all white cast represents the authenticity of the material Reminder: This is not about having an all-white cast. This is about the response to the possibility of it NOT being an all-white cast. --- CyricZ ... Copied to Clipboard!

True actually. There's plenty of dwarf and elven racism in the game. They wouldn't be able to ignore it. on the other hand, maybe intra-species racism becomes nonexistent in a world where there are other species. like, even a Klansman would pick a black guy over an Elf kinda thing? --- ...

Duran, I oughtta introduce you to the guys in the topic arguing with me that a rape scene is fine in fiction because "it's fiction and it doesn't matter". I feel you all could learn something from each other.

I don't understand why Duran is having a meltdown He's very, very very angry that it was going to be possible that a fictional character from a fictional universe where skin colour is barely remarked on was not pictured exactly how he imagined her to be. But there's a very good reason for that and it's absolutely nothing to do with race. It's just important that she wasn't black. But it's not about race. Why it's important he won't say, because it would be a waste of time to justify to ignorant people. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ... Copied to Clipboard!

Mm. I guess a white british actor can probably better pass as a white "polish inspired race", or whatever, than a black actor.
I don't follow the Witcher games (1 and 2 have been sitting in my steam pile for years), but if the characters in the books and games are white, then they should be white in the show. But I like characters in adaptations to look as closely as they can to the source without looking silly. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
